Why This Loss Hurts So Much
I completely disagree with those who say we had more talent than the Royals. In fact, I think we had the least amount of talent starting the playoffs than any other team in the AL. We had an offense missing 3 starters. There isn't another team in the AL that could have done more under these conditions. The reason it hurts so bad is that we lucked into the best matchup possible and our magic ran out. I was hoping beyond hope for more magic but was cognizant of the fact that our offense wasn't going to be able to score in Detroit, Oakland or Kansas City. We need more speed. We need more obp. We need more consistency.

The most painful thing about this is that our luck got transferred to a team that wasn't much better than us. Make no mistake, had we gotten their luck, we could have won. The answer is to get better because next year, we may find ourselves facing a team with a 200-250 million cap in the playoffs.


KC didn't swing for the hills.

WE did... every. Single. Time.

It was like clockwork.

Yost did the same thing pretty much every game. Grind out a couple of runs, swap in a few pinch runners in late innings and manage the bullpen properly.

And now they're going to the WS and we aren't.

MSK



We had plenty of opportunities, especially with bases loaded, to counteract the luck the classless royals displayed. For some reason following the first game loss we seemed to choke and lose belief in ourselves - which is maddening because that belief has won us so many games this year. It is a shame we didn't get the Angels as I think they were a better matchup for us and think we would be WS bound right now, but it wasn't to be.

I don't think the royals luck can continue, and think - and hope - it will be a procession for the NL winners.

Just gutted really. Such an immense opportunity now gone. And to think a few weeks ago many were talking up a possible beltway WS, and I was certain we would be there with or without the Nats.

Oh, and on another note - if the Os had reached the WS I would have won ?500 and if they won that, it would be ?2000 - so extra gutted to get this close and throw it away

Posted this earlier in the destiny thread. Didn't want it overlooked as that slid off the page.

Yup. It's just pure hate stupidity over there.

I can't believe anybody would use silly rationalization to explain losses.

I want to know what "luck" we had? Even if the Catcher holds onto the ball yesterday, Escobar is still safe because he beat the tag. I guess we were just lucky that after winning the first 2 games in CY that the last 2 games weren't played at CY?

Don't confuse "fans on an internet forum" with "fans of a team." Can you imagine if the world judged Chiefs fans based on Chiefsplanet?

Despite stupid takes and opinions CP is a pretty knowledgable group of fans.

I'd bet 50% of the buts in Arrowhead couldn't tell you who our starting ILBS or RG are...

Right, but you're here reading through everything and gravitating to the good takes. Take a look back at a game thread when we're losing, and it'll be pretty obvious what I mean.

We accepted our fate like dead man walking. We all knew how it was going to end.

I always love when people reach for the 'classless opposition' argument.

It's always the loser, and it's just a way to feel superior in spite of being a loser.

Apparently you haven't seen the mega "rigged" thread, explaining that we lost because the NFL, and all sports, are rigged.
